Reviews of Microsoft 365
Alternatives Considered:
A must have for any office
Comments: Overall, this is excellent software that's well worth the annual fee that Microsoft charges. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an Office suite of software, whether a small office or larger organization.
Pros:
Office 365 is packed with great software at a great annual price. It's simple to use, but also very powerful. I primarily use Word and PowerPoint for my job and I find it quick, easy and effective. The new feature where PowerPoint makes suggestions to improve your slide is really nice and often spurs ideas in me. Outlook is a powerful email, contact and calendar that you can use across multiple platforms and share with co-workers and family. One more than one occasion it has helped me remember important dates and appointments as well as keeping on track regarding my work responsibilities. I don't use excel, but people I know who do speak highly of it and how flexible and powerful it is.
Cons:
There is very little about Office 365 I don't like. Outlook could use an aesthetic overhaul in my opinion, but that's a pretty minor gripe for software as powerful as this.
Alternatives Considered:
One account, many tools
Comments: Use of Microsoft 365, previously named Office 365 for several years for my company and my customers.
Pros:
Microsoft quality. Lots of tools could be accessed with one account and so management is simplified (but a litlle hurt)
Cons:
Maybe too many tools and so it's not easy to fully manage all of them
MS 365 review
Comments: It functions and does its job mostly, but competition needs to exist.
Pros:
Its the only program like it, while competitors exists its the standard.
Cons:
Feature that should work haven't worked for years.
A Convert to Microsoft 365 for File Storage
Comments: I was suspicious at its effectiveness at first. But now I've used it for roughly 5 years and I am glad for having made the switch.
Pros:
As the title infers, the file storage is fantastic. I used to store files on Dropbox, and while I maintain an account, I don't use it much. Now, I'm more of a fan of Microsoft 365.
Cons:
It does cost some money to retain a substantial amount of storage (which totally makes business sense). And I personally do like other software for graphic design (Canva). But it's still a worthwhile software to be sure, and very good for businesses.
Very handy and important for Office jobs
Pros:
Very professional and really makes the life easy.
Cons:
Licensing can be a pain sometimes. Otherwise all good.
